i will release this battle in parts every day or 2 probably gonna last 4-7 days altogether

there is barely anything on this map, a wood land all the way through the middle, the only place that isnt a woodland is the deployment zones and there is a massive wide path through the middle of the woods that a baneblade would fit through.

TURN 1

we rolled on my made up missions and we got bases,in this mission we have to destroy the enemy base that needs 6s to hit and 5s to wound and it has 3 wounds.

space marines and imperial guard(lets just call it imperium) went first

but lets do the deployment first

terminators and dreadnought in the drop pod were reserves

chaos terminators and 1 marine squad were in reserves for chaos

DEPLOYMENT IMPERIUM
the heaviest of stuff was put to guard the road
the leman russ,heavy squad,predator and all that heavy stuff to guard it
mainly beacuse i wanted to draw chaos through the woods and then blst them with other big stuff if in the open
captain in the middle
librarian on the right with the commissar and the rest of the guardsmen
the tacticals and assualt was on the left with chaplain.

i will continue this later on

CHAOS DEPLOYMENT
the chaos saw that the imperium was heavily guarding the road
they put the chaos lord and hellbrutes and possessed in the middle to comfront the heavy part of the imperiums soldiers
then the rhinos and land raider carried the noise marines and 1 sorceror and chaos marines to fight the left flank with 1 hellbrute
the rest to attack the right flank.
the idea was to keep the heavy imperium stuff busy on the road so they cant support any where else and the 2 flanks were to be overpowered and outrunned so that they could circle round and attack the heavy stuff from behind. a simple but good tactic.

TURN 1
IMPERIUM
MOVEMENT
they saw how the chaos was set up and thought they would come through the woods,since you get a 5 up armour save in the woods the imperium decided to move their flanks into the woods and used fallen over trees as walls and other trees as buildings. now they were a bit tougher than before. they used them like a fortification.they started moved the assualt squad in the rhino to the right flank because they thought they would lose more men there
SHOOTING
the leman russ and heavy weapons team and devastators and the predator fired at the chaos predators blowing up 1 of them. the tactical squads fired on the chaos rhinos and did a bit of damage.
the guardsmen shot half a cultist squad to bits and put 1 wound on the sorcerer and damaged the hellbrute, so they did alot in the shooting phase

tell me if your reading this

Just a word of advice on your batrep: Pictures. A few visual aids, even just a Vassal40k simulation of your board would be better for everyone here, and would give us something to comment on. Also, you're not being specific enough about the important things and too specific about the unimportant stuff. For example, a shooting phase write up should, IMO, look something like this:

"The missile launcher devastators fired at the dreadnought, stunning it and knocking off one HP. The tactical squads rapid fired into the cultists and killed six, leaving four standing. The Vindicator template scattered off the Terminators and missed completely."

Not only is my sample concise and to the point, but it gives details where they matter. Also, punctuation and capitalization. It'll make your report neater and easier to read.

I hope this doesn't sound overly harsh to you, as I mean no disrespect. I am simply giving a constructive criticism.

I hope you enjoy your game, and continue to take part in the community here at Dakkadakka.
